The wild card in this war is the IRGC, most of whom are extremist Islamists, and money doesn’t matter to them, nor do the lives of unbelievers. This is all about saving the ideology of Islam, but from the view of the extremists willing to die for Allah at the drop of a hat. These extremists are living throughout the world, so even when we win this war, which we will, there will still be a problem to deal with.
Iran can in no way have a nuclear bomb because they would use it, and any of those politicians yelling they are not a threat are stupid and playing politics. These nutjobs killed 40K innocents in the name of Allah and mowed them down in the streets, then they went into hospitals to shoot injured protestors. So what makes the Democrats think we are not at risk? Give me a break. All IMO.

“U.S. officials insisted Thursday the economic pressure from the Navy blockade of Iranian ports will force Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, relieving global economic pressure that has driven up energy prices over the past two months.
Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, noted that Iran is buckling from its inability to ship oil and other vital goods because of the blockade, which the administration says has stopped any vessel from entering or exiting Iranian ports.
“We are extremely hopeful. If you look at the Iranian economy now, it’s extremely on the ropes. They are having hyperinflation. They are running out of food,” he told White House reporters. “The leadership of any country that cares at all about its citizens should make a deal.”
